C’est génial d’écouter un vieux gros monsieur retracer toute la vie de Ernesto Guevara pas seulement en restant passif, mais en visitant tous les lieux possibles, passant par l’Amérique latine pour s’imaginer ce que le Che avait en tête, et pourquoi être légitime de parler de lui; c’est un documentaire très fort qui aide à comprendre qui est Che Guevara et pourquoi il est aujourd’hui l’une des plus grandes figures du 20e siècle et de la révolution dans le monde
"Che is watching us. Beyond all the paraphernalia, he comes back. In the era of defeat, he is our secular saint. Over 45 years after his death, his image is known by generations. His legend crosses the path of the delusions of grandeur of neoliberalism. Irreverent, sardonic, morally obstinate, and unforgettable."
